EP118 - Stop being Proud of having ADHD!

STOP BEING PROUD OF HAVING ADHD is an episode about the biggest overlooked Stigma: 'The fact that we label people with these behaviors (aka Symptoms) with one of the most disempowering words in the English language - Disorder.' When we label people with ADHD, we stigmatize them with the biggest stigma there is... If we really want to 'advocate' for people who struggle with focus in life, we need to fist get rid of the word 'disorder' in ADHD in the DSM and we need to start making it illegal for ADHD experts, authors and doctors to receive funding from pharmaceutical companies. Period. Any other 'activist' work around ADHD is just fluffy self-promoting, elbow-rubbing nicey-nicey nonsense and frankly a pseudo-moralistic stand in order to look good in front of their peers. Wake up. Cut it out. Get real. Stop the pride.
